Age of the Notebook Kitchen?

The Electrolux Mobile Kitchen Concept combines three basics of modern-day kitchens: a 4-tier induction cooking element, an efficient cutting board and a touchscreen computer for your recipes, downloads and nutrition facts. The placement of the three as a tribute to the laptop makes it a truly portable design. My only concern is the functional relationship between the three. Although the renders make the placement of pots, chopping board and the tablet look synchronistic, but in reality will they hold good? Oil squirts, fumes! Nevertheless, as a camper or travel companion, it fits the bill! Designer: Dragan Trenchevski

Campers certainly don’t need this. Sure it’s easy to transport, but are the recipes necessary? (It’s camping after all). Is the luxury of this item necessary on a camping trip? I like the idea of a mobile kitchen for mobile homes and trailers where more space can be provided by removing the built in kitchen and utilizing a mobile kitchen, but this concept would not fulfill that need. Reaching over the hot surface, grease spitting all over the screen and the equipment are not such a good idea.

actually this is interesting if construction could be worked out – would be great for cooking demos or crafty activities out in public spaces in cities etc, universities or anywhere there is wireless access. but i agree, need to sort out the heating issue, the computer components would need protection.

the idea is great though, not just for camping. could be awesome for a basement hangout or similar, imagine making up ramen or something with friends. or experimenting small scale.

in any case – i know i always have a kitchen laptop ready for online recipes – save paper! this would be serving a great purpose even if it was just for that.

Most of the complaints on this page will satiate if the design is flipped; place the induction stove on a stand or platform (ideally adjustable for height) and set the computer screen to hang below it.

This way, the user can navigate the on-screen content without reaching through steam and airborne cooking liquid.

Now my only concern is: Will such a small battery be able to run both a computer and a stove? Likely the user will operate the product close to an outlet…

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Fantastic work!
